I wouldn't mind using Cardboard tube I'm just not sure where to find it in 6" Diameter...

Also I'm having trouble finding 16" Sonotube locally. Seems that Home Depot and Lowes only carries 8" 10" and 12" tube.... However I did look at The sono calculator and here's what I came up with. I can't figure out how to work WinISD yet but here's what I have.


12.2 12" Driver from AE
16" X 46" SonoTube or about 4cf
4" X 17" Precision Port
Tuned to 20Hz

Does that sound reasonable? I'd like to tune it lower.... I not sure if smaller than a 4" port is too small for a 12"..... I'd have to buy a huge length of 5" PVC sewer pipe to make a port so I'm tempted to get the off the shelf 4X17" option and build the enclosure around it.

Tempted, though it sounds silly now that I type it out...

EDIT:

Ok How about this.

12" driver
16"X48" Tube
4"X34" port
Tuned to 14.4Hz

Looking to spend about 200-300$ on Amp and Driver. Will the AE 12.2 do the trick in either of these enclosures?

Lastly once I nail down the exact driver I want I need help figuring out what to power these with. Most the ProAmps I've seen are in the 300$ range alone and I've decided I can live with an external box for a plate amp if I have to.... Suggestions on Driver and amp combos?

The Parts Express 240W is a value but I'd like more around 300W - 350W.. I plan to use the LFE output on my Receiver along with it's crossover so the plate amp will only be providing power..
